AROMANCE OF ANARCHY.
How Spies Found wife who SYM
pathized and Then Loved.

a Chicago special says: Miss Nina
Clarke Van Zandt, of this city, will on
next Tuesday be married to August
Spies, the executor of the Arbcifcr-
Zeitu3g, now under sentence of death
for completely in the Haymarket con-
spiracy and bomb-throwing. Miss Van
Zandt is the only child of Mr.. James
X. Var Zandt, who holds the position
of chemist in large manufacturing
establishment here and resides in a
handsome house in one of the most
attractive portions of the city.
The factof the wedding was confirmed
tonight by both Spies and the father of
the lady. The circumstances, as re-
lated tonight by Spies himself, in his
cell at the county jail, are as follows:
During the closing days of the ia
nous trial of the Anarchist there came
into the courtroom the ladywho is now
to become my wife" Here the Anar-
chist editor showed the portrait of
young lady of engaging presence and
regular features. The complexion was
that of a rather light blonde, and the
form of the owner was dressed in the
height of fashion.
"Miss Van Zandt, continued Spies,
entered the cOurt-ro ON when Assist
t-PrOsecutor Ingham was making one
Of the closing addresses to the jury.
She had read the evidence i'll the trial
carefully and had been led to believe
that the accused were wild set of I'M
cultured men and thought she would
like to see and Judge for herself.
"She did come, and from that day
became a regular attendant in the court
room to the end of the trial, and by
that time had reached the conclusion
that the trial was vast conspiracy to
convict innocent men to satisfy the sup
posed demands of public policy. Fl
nally she visited us i'll Jail, and was for
mally introduced to me by one Of our
counsel. She had found / was neither
an ignOramus, monster, nor a beast,
and we became interested III each other,
until at last we arrived at n mutual
agreement To-day she was here twice,
as were also her parents"
Mr.. Van Zandt was seen tonight at
his residence. He admitted the truth
of the statement.
